Ah, thanks for that last remark, I'll keep it in mind for future testing.

However, I double-checked and while I thought I remembered that -Dusedevel implied -DDEBUGGING, it doesn't seem so*. Hence, the 5.11 I used for the above results was no debugging build. Sorry for the confusion!

Cheers,
Steffen

* I did "./Configure -Dusedevel -de 2>&1 | grep -i debug" and "make -j3 | grep -i debug" without any mention of DEBUGGING.

The -Dusedevel option to Configure just quiets the "WHOA THERE, is this a development version of perl" message that otherwise quits Configure.

I verified my original benchmarks with non-debugging perls (I wasn't sure if my 5.10 had been debugging, and I missed to look at perl5.10.0 -V ;), it didn't change anything.
